2:11 pm
claims its thinking of ways customers a 90 day reprieve means select american companies will be able to continue working with the chinese to ensure existing users of it smartphones and networks don't suffer too much disruption. but while way hasn't exactly showered the white house with facts and an interview with a chinese news site found a wrench young face said the u.s. had underestimated twal ways strength and ability to make its own components some analysts agree that what might have seemed like a setback for the company could prove a major opportunity. they're already in the cheap foreign market and still this is going to actually make make it probably better for them that they have something in-house that good will or they could actually make forms even cheaper. and said it in other markets the easing of restrictions comes a day after google barred huawei from some updates to its android operating system
2:12 pm
showing the types of challenges that could lie ahead for the company but the u.s. isn't pulling the plug completely for now at least. i did have this business correspondent. is across that story and joins me now from frankfurt knows what prompted this change of heart by use authorities concern in qual way well i'm very much looks like president trump might have heard from his own tech community from his own tech companies because they are actually standing to lose a lot of money with that band that he put on huawei 1st of call of course and that group would be google a while way is of course a major customer for google using its android system and we played through yesterday already when google initially said they would stop working with huawei right away but there's other companies too there's intel there's silence as chip makers of course and all in all if you look at any huawei smartphone just about 70
2:13 pm
percent of what goes into that smartphone in hardware as well as software comes from american companies so there is a lot of business interest on the american side too and we saw how that played out over the last 2 days initially when that ban was implemented tech companies lost a lot of value his shares went down and once that was reversed they made up at least part of parts of the loss and that's just this big stick small carrot approach to quell way tell us something about the u.s. economic policy. well i guess it tells us 2 things 1st of all and these 2 things might not be entirely new but 1st of all it reminds us of the way donald trump makes his policies in general he goes for something without thinking all through all the details involved as he clearly has done here he puts a burden on something he takes
2:14 pm
a big step and then realizes that of course that has consequences and he might renegotiate something but it also tells us and that is something to keep in mind over the next couple of weeks as these u.s. chinese negotiations might continue he does play hardball he always has and now that president trump did not initially get a deal with the chinese the way of the terms that he wanted he is going after one of the biggest companies in a very personal way to bring china back to the table and maybe get a deal after all. on his terms. in frankfurt thank you very much feel analysis. now gotten francis ordered a hospital to resume giving food and water to a man who's been in a vegetative state for more than a decade 42 year old. has been completely paralyzed since a motorbike accident in 2008 his wife is pain to allow him to be due to die
2:15 pm
but is that as contested a decision stating the family and the nation. the french media swooped as vast so long bears parents prepared for what was to be their final goodbye with their son he still cling to doing that killing him that killing him that monsters. paid for a long battle to prevent this happening. but not everyone in the family shares their view and some were clearly relieved lets it apply for this is the 1st time i've told myself it's going to happen and everything is being done to make it happen i'm just so i'm quite serene and ready for it to end. doctors began shutting down 42 year old vets only on bell's life support but the battle wasn't i've yet a paris court then ordered doctors to resume treatment it's the latest episode in a bitter legal battle that's divided lamberto family since a 2008 motorcycle accident left him in
2:16 pm
a state of minimal consciousness doctors say his condition has deteriorated and that for years now he's been in a persistent vegetative state llambias wife rochelle his nephew and several siblings back to 2013 decision by his doctors to end life support his parents and 2 other siblings opposed it. llambias parents have brought and lost cases before french courts and the european court of human rights in repeated efforts to prevent his life support being ended earlier this month the united nations committee on the rights of persons with disabilities requested that french authorities suspend the decision to take him off life support while it examine the case monday's like decision from the paris appeal court ordered care to be continued until united nations committee could consider an appeal from lamberti parents. and for more on the case i'm joined by our correspondent louis embarrass he said of this
2:17 pm
case has already been all the way to the european court of justice which ruled in favor of the wife's position that he should be allowed to die now the united nations has got involved but does the u.n. have any legal jurisdiction well that's the big question really and people here are divided on that the 1st french court said no it's not legally binding and the french government seems to think that as a vote but now another french court has said yes you have to wait for that decision so what's happening really is that this committee is now has now 6 months to look into the case of violence on there and then emits an opinion and apparently legal experts aren't actually don't agree on if the government and the the doctors in charge of need to follow these instructions for now though they have to wait until further notice but as we saw in the report there the long bear's mother is calling
2:18 pm
doctors the monsters and accusing them of killing us on kili the family is very divided but what about the medical opinion in france. well a team of doctors taking care of him obviously seem to think that there is no hope and that he will die one day and that they need to switch him off so that he doesn't suffer anymore however there is a group of doctors several dozens of doctors who have published an op ed yesterday saying that they don't agree these doctors are specialized and in these cases of so-called people who are locked in or who are in a vegetative state for a very long time and they say it's just impossible to know what vance on the bare really wants and also he is not dying you just need to give him food and water but he's rather a disabled person and many other people here in france are in the same state about 1700 and we don't know what they want so we shouldn't make the decision for them
2:19 pm
and this case has a drip of the french public is dominating media headlines why do you think this is the case well as you said it's a very emotional case it's splitting a family into 2 and also dividing public opinion but there's also one other thing which is somehow specific to france so the decision in this very emblematic case that has been going on for more than 10 years will certainly have an impact on other cases because here when there is one such emblematic decision other judges look that way and then are more inclined to go the same way and to make a similar decision and that's obviously what many others of the families of these 1700 other people in such a permanent vegetative state are afraid of ride elisa loose in bowers thank you very much. and now to my love you have voting is underway to elect
